Soy is a thyroid inhibitor. It increases your risk of certain estrogen
related cancers. It is a genetically engineered food. Many people are
severely allergic to it. There are a few websites out there that will list
all the research, etc, and give you details if you want them.

Only if the crop was produced from genetically modified seeds(or
whatever the proper term is), it will be genetically engineered. I've
seen some brands in local grocery stores that say their product is not
made from genetically modified soy.

Lot of vegetables these days have been genetically modified. I heard
somewhere that there's no gov't regulation to label food as such. I
don't see foods that say they've been genetically modified, but I do
see labels sometimes that say "not genetically modified" (usually more
expensive products).

I absolutely disagree. Dairy is the real enemy. Stay away from dairy and go
with a low-fat or fat-free soy milk. Soy is a wonder food.

Soy milk is relatively rich in genistein and daidzein, a pair of plant
estrogens, or phytoestrogens. Like the body's own estrogen, phytoestrogens
bind to and activate specific receptors on cells throughout the body. However,
compared to the body's own estrogen, the phytoestrogens are very weak. So are
their biological impacts, and that might explain any benefits they offer.

During her childbearing years, a woman's production of estrogen is far higher
than a man's, and far higher than at later periods in her own life. Consuming
large amounts of weak phytoestrogens can prevent some natural estrogen from
reaching its receptors, thereby diminishing a woman's exposure to this more
potent hormone.

Because estrogen can promote and fuel the growth of many breast cancers, diets
rich in phytoestrogens might effectively starve precancerous tissues,
diminishing a woman's cancer risk. Or at least that's the hypothesis that
many researchers have begun probing, because of the observation that especially
low breast-cancer rates seem to characterize societies that consume a lot of
phytoestrogens. Soy-based tofu, tempeh, and soy milk are common in many
Oriental cuisines.

The Asians don't eat as much soy as we think they do. And, it really isn't
good for you. Honest.

Here's the website:

You're right, though, dairy is also bad for you. But soy is not the answer.

I would be HIGHLY suspect of any site or source that stated the following:
"Truth: In some people, consumption of soy foods will lower cholesterol, but
there is no evidence that lowering cholesterol improves one's risk of having
heart disease."

Jeez!
